"One Up on Wall Street" is the friendliest and most approachable book on investing I've read. It's a mix of general investing philosophy, personal anecdotes and specific strategies for choosing, buying and selling stocks.

Lynch writes about his frequent missteps with regret but also the humor and perspective of one who has learned from his mistakes. Many investing books are written by authors who present themselves as ingenious laser-visioned mavericks who have reduced investing to a perfect science. 

Lynch, on the other hand, makes it clear that he's a rather normal person for the most part, and fully capable of misjudgment. He never tries to sell you on an 'infallible method'

I'd recommend this to newer stock market investors.
